Capeand Stops Horiguchi in Round Three to Extend Knockout Streak to Four

Manel Kape finished Kyoji Horiguchi with a devastating knockout in the third round, extending his consecutive knockout streak to four inside the Flyweight division and setting a new UFC record with five divisional knockouts. Horiguchi had controlled the first two rounds with sharp counter-striking and takedowns before a tactical error — pausing too long on the inside to throw an extra shot — allowed Kape to land the finishing blow. Kape, who fought out of southpaw for most of the contest before switching stances at the decisive moment, is now firmly in line for a title shot.
